Christian Apologetics must go hand in hand with Christian Polemics. While God’s word does provide for a rational and reasonable defence, I also think that forceful men must give of themselves vigorously in the cause of the Kingdom. Not a definition, but wanted to get my point across. Going on the offensive is the best form of defense.

Matthew 22:37-40
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” -
I believe this Bible verse describes it in most accurate way. 1Peter3/15 ““but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect” that goes for ALL Christians. I also believe that there are certain believers who have a special gift and are called to focus on apologetics especially, as I understood it from 1Corinthians12/4-10 talking about different gifts of the Spirit, one of them is word of knowledge and wisdom..
